It was an absolute dream to be Asia and Andrew’s Virginia Beach engagement photographer – I swear these two had me laughing all evening while we chased the PERFECT sunset across the sand!

Asia and I had been DMing on Instagram for weeks leading up to her session, and seeing her walk up to meet me with Andrew felt like a reunion among friends. We almost forgot to stop joking with one another to kick off our shoes and follow the boardwalk to the oceanfront before the sun went down!

When scouting for an engagement session, I’m always on the lookout for a location that can give my couples diversity within their gallery. We all want an epic scene for that show stopping Save the Date, but my top locations always have a quiet tucked away space too!

This secret beach entrance is one of my favorites because the sun sets juuuuust right between the trees for that signature Kyra Gustwick glow but its only a few steps away from the oceanfront.

No one wants to feel like they’re performing during a photo session! Finding a private stretch of the beach (or any cozy nook at your engagement session location!) is the perfect way to shake out any nerves with your partner and enjoy being dressed up and flirting with each other. You can practically feel the chemistry between these two!

 

After our session together, Asia and Andrew were absolutely raving about their experience! “Kyra is absolutely Brilliant! She will capture your personal love story. She took her time and work with us. She made us fell safe and relaxed during our shoot. Book her now! My fiancé hates pictures and he wants to do it again. That’s the magic of Kyra!” -Asia
